I promised myself that if I finished all my necessary homework I could get on here and blog about my weekend! Good thing I stuck to my planner and got everything for tonight knocked out! I had a great weekend with friends, family, and birthday celebrations!!
On Friday, Cam and I met D and AJ in Topeka for dinner and some much needed chat time (D turned 22 in Aug. and we never got to celebrate, so we knocked out her celebration and mine on Friday!) We went to Olive Garden for dinner and enjoyed soup, salad, pasta, wine, and fun! We decided we needed some coffee (since it was quite chilly this night) so we headed over to Starbucks. As we got out of the car, we noticed a used DVD store next to Starbucks (this was interesting because we go to this Starbucks all the time with them, yet none of us had ever noticed the store before). The boys decided it was necessary to venture in, and boy were they glad we did! They found some outrageous deals, (and by outrageous I mean 5 DVD's for $15!!!) Cam and AJ decided to buy 10 DVD's for $30 each and D bought 2 DVD's and a season of Weeds for $15...so you do the math...the grand total was $75, BUT we got 22 DVD's and a full TV season for that price!!
All of the fabulous DVD's we got for a cut rate!!
These were my two picks that I conned Cam into buying for me :)
AJ being a goofer
Awww...much better. Two of my favorites :)
And of course Cam and I :) AND, you can't see it, but I was wearing my boots for the first time!! I of course, loved them :) :)
We had a great time catching up with them and talking about the stresses of our semester, the latest news on job offers and future employment, and our fun living situations! It was great to see them both, and we all need to make a better job of catching up more often!!
Saturday was Family Day at KSU, so the good ol' parents made the trip to K-State to visit and attend the game with me! We tailgated with Cam's family for a bit (he wasn't even there with us, but I was so glad his mom and step-dad still asked my family and I to join them!!) We unfortunately, did not get a picture with Cam's family, but my parents got to meet Cameron's grandpa and his brother, Joshua, and step brother Josh (they had already met his parents before). We had a great time chatting with them and Jill and Gary got me a Vera Bradley bag and some make-up that I just love!! Thanks again for thinking of me on my birthday! After stopping by Jill and Gary's tailgate, we made our way over to my friend Shelbi's tailgate with her family and a bunch of other Kappas!
Some Kappa's with our dad's for Dad's Weekend!!

Some Kappa Seniors...holla!!!

KSU pride baby!! (This is probably my last KSU football game as an undergraduate...weeeird).
Sunday was my birthday and my parents were still in town so I decided to take them to Manhattan's best breakfast place called "The Chef." (I personally had never been there, but I had heard great things so I figured we should give it a shot!) They told us the wait would be 45 minutes, but it was a beautiful morning, so they gave us some coffee and hot chocolate and we waited outside (and, the wait only ended up being 20 minutes which was AWESOME!)
Mama and I by the front door posing with our hot chocolate and coffee!! (Note: The grey sweater I am wearing was a birthday gift from my parents from Target!)
Breakfast was DELICIOUS, and would have been well worth the 45 minute wait! It was reasonably priced and great food, so I definitely recommend it to any Manhattan dwellers! (And, I'm not even a breakfast person, so that is saying a lot!) Not only was it good, but it was also on Cam and my bucket list so now that is something we can mark off! When we got back home, these were waiting for me...
BEAUTIFUL fall flowers from Cameron! He knows me well...flowers are my weakness :) :)
Sunday night I was fortunate enough to have some friends come to Houlihan's to celebrate with me over a scrumptious meal!!
I have some gorgeous friends, do I not?
Cam looks overly excited to be taking this picture, which NEVER happens!!
The boys all seemed to congregate at one end...hmm...they were probably busy having boy talk!
Overall, it was a FABULOUS weekend! I got to see so many friends and family and I was able to participate in a ton of fun activities! I hope your week has been off to a marvelous start!
Until then,
Brittany
